Race Ramps...Mine do not work
Ok, I bought the extra long 1 piece ramps and my car hits.
These are the ones I have https://www.walmart.com/ip/Race-Ramp...Ramps/49605989 What do you all use?

Ok, after further inspection I can move the ramps outwards to clear the whatchamacallit under the front splitter. But man it is close.

My Camaro clears the 67" ramps pretty cleanly, but for my Corvette to make it p the same ramps, I have to use these:

I don't have them, but the extenders linked are a good way to further decrease the approach angle.

The nose is very long and very low. Even my custom ramps required extra board to get the car up without touching.

You won't have any issues with your 1LE using 67 inch Race Ramps.

Saw a video on YT of ramps built using wood boards. Very customizable.

i used 2x4s laying on the ground in front of my 20 year old rhino ramps. 0 issues.
i think it's silly to spend half as much for ramps as a quickjack. ok nvm qj really went up lately. still don't support several hundred dollar ramps lol

On top of that I have the two piece ramps, so they are easy to move and store. Ideally I'd really like to have a 2 or 4 post lift, but I don't have room for one. And either of those would be substantially more expensive.

Use a 2x8 that is about 24" in length to get you on your ramps. Works like a charm, any variation thereof. You really don't need the much more expensive "race" elongated version if you do it this way.

I built these modular ramps few years ago.
